    The Republic

    by Plato

    Presented in the form of a dialogue between Socrates and three different


    interlocutors, this classic text is an enquiry into the notion of a perfect
    community and the ideal individual within it. During the conversation, other
    questions are raised: what is goodness?; what is reality?; and what is
    knowledge? The Republic also addresses the purpose of education and the
    role of both women and men as guardians of the people. With remarkable
    lucidity and deft use of allegory, Plato arrives at a depiction of a state bound
    by harmony and ruled by philosopher kings.
